Hybrid and electric choices for miles upon miles of worry-free driving

For those who spend long days on the road, there’s practically no more important question than, “How long can I go without having to stop to refuel?” If you can drive for hundreds of miles without having to worry about pausing to fill up your vehicle’s gas tank or recharge its battery, then you’ll save time and anxiety.

For 2025, there are some models, both gas and electric, that can stretch a single charge or tank farther than the rest. If you’re in the market for a true long-haul steed, then these are the best choices. 

The EVs

2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring – 512 miles

The 2025 Lucid Air Grand Touring ($114,900) is the ideal EV blend of performance and efficiency. It carries an EPA-estimated range of up to 512 miles when equipped with 19-inch wheels, produces a peak of 819 horsepower, and rockets from 0–60 mph in just 3.0 seconds, all while maintaining a drag coefficient of 0.197. Charging is equally impressive: the Grand Touring can add 200 miles of range in approximately 12 minutes on high-power DC fast chargers. The Lucid Air Grand Touring blends class-leading range, blistering performance, and high-end comfort, making it one of the most compelling long-distance EV sedans you can buy in 2025.

2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV (RST Max Range) – 460 miles

Range anxiety in an electric pickup? No way. The Silverado EV RST Max Range ($97,895) is Chevy’s bold entry into the full-size electric truck segment, and it’s built to go the distance. Packing a maximum EPA-estimated range of 460 miles on a single charge, it challenges EVs with way smaller footprints, while offering all the utility you expect from a big pickup truck. Beyond its headline range, the RST Max Range blends serious towing and payload capability with features such as fast charging, a spacious bed, and a truly rugged design. For drivers who want an electric pickup that can handle both work and long trips, the Silverado EV RST Max Range is one serious long-hauler.

2025 Rivian R1T (Dual Max Range) – 420 miles

The Rivian R1T is one of the most capable and versatile electric pickups on the market. The Dual Motor Max Range configuration ($84,990) delivers an impressive EPA-rated 420 miles; however, factors such as wheel size, tire choice, terrain, and driving style can significantly impact real-world results. Opting for the Standard or Large battery packs provides shorter but still highly competitive ranges, while the available all-terrain tires tend to reduce total distance slightly. Regardless of setup, the R1T continues to balance long-distance capability with serious off-road talent, proving that an electric truck can be both adventurous and efficient.

2025 Tesla Model S (Long Range Dual Motor) – 410 miles

Tesla has been taking its hits in the media and in sales, but don’t count it out. The Model S Long Range Dual Motor ($94,990) eats up miles like a champ. Once the trailblazer that defined the modern EV era, the Tesla Model S now faces stiffer competition from newer electric luxury sedans, but it still provides hours of electric-only driving that’s good enough for road trip levels. With an EPA-estimated 410 miles of range (up from 2025’s 402 miles) and agile, well-balanced handling, it remains a quick, capable, and efficient long-distance cruiser, even if it’s no longer the undisputed benchmark it used to be.

The hybrids

As impressive as the long-range EV numbers are, nothing beats a gas-electric hybrid when it comes to squeezing out the maximum possible range for a passenger vehicle. The surest way to top 600 miles in 2025 without plugging in is still a high-efficiency hybrid that never has you worrying about EV range anxiety. These four models top the charts in terms of range, and your bladder will give out before these need to fuel up.

2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid (LE FWD) – 663 miles

The 2025 Camry Hybrid LE FWD ($29,000) sets a new benchmark for efficiency in the midsize sedan class. In LE front-wheel-drive form, it delivers an exceptional EPA-estimated 51 MPG combined and a maximum range of up to 663 miles per tank from its 13-gallon fuel capacity. Higher trims like the SE, XLE, and XSE balance efficiency with added features, while all-wheel-drive variants still deliver excellent levels of range depending on configuration. It also provides the best driving manners, styling, and tech of any Camry before it.

2025 Toyota Prius (LE FWD) – 644 miles

The 2025 Toyota Prius continues its legacy as one of the most efficient and forward-thinking hybrid vehicles on the market. In its front-wheel-drive configuration, the Prius LE ($28,550) delivers a remarkable total driving range of up to 644 miles on a single tank of gas, thanks to its highly optimized hybrid powertrain and sleek (and now sexy) aerodynamic design. Even the all-wheel-drive version, which adds extra stability and traction for harsher climates, still achieves an impressive 567 miles of total range, leading the charge for hybrid hatchback efficiency. In addition to its great looks, the Prius is finally a genuinely enjoyable daily driver with more power and better handling. It’s a Prius without compromise.

2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid (Blue) – 638 miles

There’s no question that Hyundai offers some of the best car values in the industry, but did you know that the Elantra Hybrid Blue ($24,450) delivers an astounding 638 miles of highway range on a full fuel tank? That’s some serious range. The Elantra Hybrid Blue is a compact sedan that emphasizes economy over performance, catering to those who rack up the miles. It keeps options relatively simple, with no AWD and smaller wheels, to preserve fuel efficiency. While it won’t be the quickest in its class, the 2025 Elantra Hybrid Blue stands out as a smart choice if your priority is stretching every gallon and minimizing fuel stops.

2025 Honda Accord Hybrid (EX-L) – 600 miles

The 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid remains one of the most efficient midsize sedans on the road, offering a remarkable range of up to 600 miles for the EX-L Hybrid ($34,940) thanks to its optimized efficiency tuning and slippery body. Meanwhile, the Sport, Sport-L, and Touring Hybrid trims trade a bit of range for larger wheels and added performance features. The Accord Hybrid’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors combine for 204 horsepower, and it’s a highly refined and efficient combo that still delivers driving fun.
